"LITTLE HONEY POT" SOON LOST SWEETNESS
GUSTY LOVE NOTES IN SUIT
New York, Feb. 21. Equatorial I ing lips. If you will be my little wife
there will be no happier couple m the
world. I will cherish you like a dear
pearl. ,
Next reading, near storm center,
winds variable:
"You little devil! How could you
rob me of my cool head? What did
you do with me that I am your slave?
My sweet, beautiful little fairy, I am
dying for you. I am all gone for
love?"
No reading for month, barometer
crippled. Then:
"Married life is not for me. When
I took you for my wife I listened only
to my heart, but since I took you I
became more and more frightened
at the time when my independent
quietness-will be at an end. I am a
man who lives for himself. I like to
be alone with my solitude and my
thoughts and I feel that in the mar
ried life I would be very unhappy."
Last reading: "I will not have any
disputes with a peasant, because you
do not understand oral speech. If
you think I will stand for any more
insolence from a stupid peasant you
are mistaken. Go back to the wash
tub. One should not start anything
with a stupid peasant. If you dare to
come near me I will throw you out."

week pending trial.

The first reading is dated by Mr.
Gunys, Nov. 15, 1915:
"My Sweet, Golden Dearest Little
Mother. My Faithful Little Bride
My dear, good little love, my loving
heart feeling lighter when I address
you a few lines. My golden star, I
would like to press you to me and
kiss you until you could hardly
breathe. My little honey pot, my lov
ing little mother, tomorrow I shall
come to see you if only for a few
minutes to suck the sweet honey
from your lips. Sweetness, you are
my whole universe. If not for you the
whole world would be empty and dead
to me. Little golden tenderness, how
shall I call you to express the heart of
my thought
"Good night, sweet queen, golden
happiness. I am your slave. Millions
of kisses from your loving and sweet
little father."
